Description
parrot_md5 returns the MD5 checksum of the file stored at <path>. If possible it calls a native function
of the remote system to get the checksum, without requiring the transfer of the file's contents to the
user's machine. If the filesystem does not support the checksum function internally, it is computed by
the user-level program in the normal fashion.
Examples
To retrieve the MD5 checksum of a file stored on a chirp server:
% parrot_run parrot_md5 /chirp/server.nd.edu/joe/data
d41d8cd98f00b204e9800998ecf8427e data
Exit Status
On success, returns zero. On failure, returns non-zero.
